Couch 240: The Vanadis Couch

morning couch

except in my case it's tea

hugs/headnods all around as needed/wanted/appropriate.

in my dream last night I tried to make an appointment with my GP through their web site but it wasn't working. that's all I remember, I don't remember why. I wonder if my body's trying to tell me something. I just had a well visit not that long ago... my bp meds need a renewal rx, so I'm going to have to go in I must be thinking about that. The NP that I've seen for awhile now has left the practice, which is a bummer so I'll have to see the new one that I haven't met yet. I'm pretty sure they won't just write new Rx's based on the NP's records only. Well time to log onto work. later couch

My new dog is doing so well. I love her! She sat with me last night on my lap (she's almost too big to be a lap dog, she's a beagle, but we make it work). Then she slept with me in my bed, like right up against me. Then this morning when I was waking up/watching the news, she sat with me again on my lap. Then while I was getting ready for work, she sat on my bed watching me.

Now if only Helen and Zoey would get along. Poor Helen. She is still hiding in my parent's room. I'm going to have to work on socializing the two of them this weekend. My Dad is doing some of it because I am at work, but they each need to get used to each other. And Amelia, who is largely an outdoor cat, by her own desire, she can easily come through the doggy door, I have not seen for days but her food is getting eaten at night so I have no idea where she is hiding. I hope to see her soon.

They wouldn't renew it. I'm not ok right now.

I'm so sorry, NP. I don't understand how they possibly could justify that. Can you appeal it in some way?

And is it possible to talk to your T tonight?

Hugs, if wanted.

I'm very sorry NP.

I'm not sure he really cares so I doubt it. I feel pretty worthless right now.

what the actual F? that makes no sense, how could they not. Hugs if wanted. I'm so sorry. I hope there is a way to appeal the decision.

I don't think you can appeal it. If he contacts me and threatens me, I can file for a new one. The judge said something about I can't demonstrate any threat from him because I haven't had any contact with him in 5 years. Yeah, because I've had a restraining order against him for those 5 years.

The other person in court today was an older woman getting a restraining order because her grandson who lives with her was stealing money from her. Hers was granted.

It feels like the **** I went through has been invalidated and was just no biggie.

That's really messed up. He was also in prison for a chunk of that time, right?

OMG. NP I am saying lots of swear words in my head right now. Outrage.

Don't let that stupid ****** of a judge's stupid decision define your experience. You are worthy of safety and protection and always have been.

I'm so sorry, NP. What a crock of shite that judge used as an excuse to not renew your order. I do hope you get to talk to your T soon. I'm sorry he didn't reply to your email.

Please look into appealing it. My sister is appealing her denial restraining order. She actually found a group that is taking on her case for free. You totally deserve a restraining order!

Grrrrrr. This sounds like a case for the Couch militia.

The law is a ***.

Today is the day for the IUD, in 8 hours. I've had horrible nightmares last night. I woke up screaming from the first one, don't remember the second, and the third I murdered someone. I'm nervous and scared. I feel really upset about this. And I know I'm trying to make the best decision for me and my dream. It just really hurts.

Sending hugs, Scarlet...

hugs, scarlet.

well i just got an unexpected afternoon off work. They offered VTO because we are so caught up on our work right now. It's already October though - so we'll be doing peak season training soon - then January 1 will be here and we'll be back to those lovely 60-hour weeks, so I usually jump at offers of VTO this time of year!

I think I'm upset with my therapist now. He sent me a bill including that last session where I didn't think he was even trying. I'm not sure he should have charged me for that, but maybe I'm just being a b**** right now cause I'm mad at the world. He finally responded to my Tuesday triggered email after 26 hours, right before I went to court yesterday. I sent him another email after court which he hasn't responded to. The DV advocate called me on her day off after it got denied because I left the building without talking to anyone. (Court is via video from a DV center, not the actual courthouse.) So a person I met once called to check in on me and my therapist didn't. I didn't ask him to call me, but I did say I wasn't okay with what had happened. I would think he would know after all these years of working together that situation would probably be distressing for me and he might consider calling to check in on me. We're supposed to meet in 2 hours in his new office and I don't really want to talk to him right now.

i'm so sorry, NP.

That was Mr Bumble saying it, if I remember right from reading the book years ago?

I might be remembering wrong ?

I'm sorry NP
